I always thought the POWERS version of registration was the most realistic. Yeah people with super powers had to register them, and yeah the government kept tabs on the really powerful ones, but that was about it.

The search for life's building blocks on Enceladus just got more complicated. Experiments show that radiation can also produce organics from ingredients found on the icy moon. 🔭 🧪 eos.org/articles/spa...

Space Radiation Can Produce Some Organic Molecules Detected on Icy Moons - Eos

As missions prepare to visit ocean worlds like Enceladus and Europa, new findings show scientists must first learn to distinguish between radiation-made organics and those born in a subsurface sea.

Patrick Alk, a photographer who has told RTL radio the cavern's discovery was "a shame, but not the end of the world". There were "a dozen more where that one came from," he said.

"You guys have no idea what's down there."

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

i am unfortunately increasingly inclined to say we should look to the invention of the printing press and the centuries of disorder and chaos and dysfunction that followed its introduction until people and the system eventually adjusted to a new reality where ppl could read nonsense & believe it

I don't see how we can have a democracy when about one-third of our country's population is COMPLETELY psychotic and detached from reality. I mean that literally and in reference to many of my family members: they flat-out reject the real world and the very concept of evidence.

Two years ago, I embarked on an ambitious 3D reconstruction model of Dover Castle, recreating how it might have looked at the time of the Great Siege in 1216. Working with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model and 3D renders took over five months to develop. #Blender3D

Computer 3D model reconstruction of Dover Castle as it might have looked in 1216 on the eve of the Great Siege of 1216, when the Castle defended an attack by an Anglo-French rebellion against an unpopular King John of England. Working closely with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model absorbed over 800 hours of work over five months. Laser survey and GIS data, hundreds of measured architectural drawings from Historic England archives, old engravings and paintings, and the findings of three detailed archaeological reports were analysed to create the digital model. Photographic textures, 3D renders, and manual digital painting helped bring the Castle's history to life through richly detailed images. The completed images were created for the exhibition, Dover Castle at Siege, which English Heritage opened in July 2024.

Re: the Labour shenanigans detailed in The Fraud. "Gordstein", it should be noted, was not a real person but an invention of Euan Philipps of Labour Against Antisemitism, who is not Jewish but made complaints under what he obviously considered to be a 'Jewish-sounding' name

Stefan Mohamed @stefmowords.bsky.social · 6h

particularly callous and inhumane detail here. these people never gave a fuck about Jews

"In September 2020 “Gordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the “Zionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. “This frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...

Feel like Miéville snuck this in somewhere in between the demonic hell embassy, the libertarian pirate city cult, the machine uprising, the hand brain parasite illuminati, the multi dimensional chaos spider, and the undead gerontocracy. Maybe under the revolutionary infinity rail road community.
